Details
This policy framework sets out the arrangements for working with people whose convictions or behaviours include domestic abuse. The purpose of this policy framework is to set out HMPPS commitment and approach to reducing domestic abuse-related re-offending and the risk of serious harm associated with it.
The framework mandates adherence to the referral pathways for domestic abuse perpetrators and ensures the expectations for our work in these cases are laid out clearly and comprehensively. It draws together expected practice into a clear framework.
This will significantly strengthen the consistency of our approach and therefore better safeguard victims and those at risk.
